Diary of a Mad County

Monday, Oct. 3
Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringleannounces he will attend the Angels playoff series against the New York Yankees, which starts tomorrow. Pringle had boycotted all Angels games after owner Arte Moreno changed the name of the team to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The city is currently suing Moreno to change the name back. "We don't want to support the owner and the actions of management, but at the same time we want to support the players and the team on the field," Pringle says, though it isn't clear whether he's talking about baseball or the war in Iraq.
